Either of two arbitrary hydrometer scales, one for liquids lighter than water and the other for liquids heavier than water, that indicate specific gravity in degrees, the intervals between the degree graduations being of equal length, readings on the scale being approximately reducible to specific gravities by the following formulas given by the U.S. Bureau of Standards ("n" in each case being the reading on the Baumé scale): (a) for liquids heavier than water, sp. gr. = 145 divided by (145-n) at 60°F; (b) for liquids lighter than water sp. gr. = 140 divided by (130+n) at 60°F. 6, record 4, English, - Baum%C3%A9%20scale

Sa graduation - en degrés Baumé -, qui n'a plus cours légal depuis mai 1961, est arbitraire, mais permet d'évaluer la concentration de n'importe quelle solution avec la même unité et le même appareil imaginé par Baumé. 1, record 5, French, - ar%C3%A9om%C3%A8tre%20Baum%C3%A9
